    Hi!

    Need tips on how to easily increase the power on a GS 500 from 1981. Where to start?

    Get a 750.

    Welcome to the forum.

    is this you on FaceBook? I just happened to come across this on FB after seeing your post here. Nice looking 500.



    I can’t do anything with the pic you posted. There is a bit of a trick to posting full size pictures on the forum. Link in my signature if you’re interested

      Where did that bike come from? They didn't sell that model in the USA.

      Best upgrade is install 650 cylinders/pistons/head. There are lots of threads here on this upgrade path.

        The GS500E motorcycle appeared in 1979, powered by a sleeved-down version of the GS550 engine (with smaller carburetors). The GS500E four was manufactured for markets where its smaller displacement was suited to insurance or license regulations.


        So easy path to 550

            Apparently I'm spacing out. I looked, but missed that!
